EMORY FUMIGATOR WITH MODIFICATIONS 75 



provided with four handles, as shown in the illustra- 

 tion. There is a two-inch flange covered with a good 

 quality of felt, against which the door rests. The sur- 

 face of the frame which rests against the flange is cov- 

 ered with the same material. There are two flat 

 pieces projecting on each side from the base of the 

 frame upon which the door rests. There are thirteen 

 buttons by which the door is fastened and kept in 

 place, as illustrated. 



The cost of a fumigator of this size varies from 

 $13 to $18, according to the material used in its 

 construction. This fumigator has been severely tested 

 at the New York Experiment Station and found 

 very satisfactory. The time required for moving it 

 from one tree to another varies somewhat with con- 

 ditions, but as a rule it can be set up in from ten to 

 fifteen minutes. It can be operated and easily carried 

 by two men. A fumigator 12x8x8 feet, built accord- 

 ing to this style, would no doubt be practical, and 

 would require about three men to handle it. The re- 

 moval of one side prevents the necessity of lifting it 

 over the tree, as is the case with the Emory type.
